Here is an original journey, a journey that tells the story of British Columbia: the journey of a log from the forest to the sawmill. We come across a lumberjack who cuts down thousand-year-old trees in perilous conditions. A tugboat captain dragging behind him a raft of 30,000 tons of wood. A beachcomber, a sort of sea scrap merchant, who lives off the logs he harvests on the shore. Operators who operate sort of tumbling boats to bring the wood to the sawmill. And there is the ocean everywhere. Because in British Columbia, wood and sea are intimately linked…
As woodworker, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI watched 'The Beachcombers' TV series when I was a kid! Still watch the reruns to this day.

The fellow who played the role of Relic was actually a nice guy, and Bruno Gerusi was a douche. That from a high school friend who played the part of a cop for one show.
DeleteGreat production.
ReplyDeleteThat log raft of 30,000 tons equates to around 1000 to 1200 log truck loads, which would amount to 5 to 6 million board feet of timber. That's a lot of wood.
